Forecasts

Little Mixup (9/2), Icee M B A (9/2), My Friend The Wind (9/2), Well Joey (13/2), The Holmeister (8/1), Cosmic Rock (10/1), Misty Millie (10/1), Name Me Famous (12/1), Crescent Lake (14/1), Chosen Flower (16/1), Crimson Chief (18/1), Derby De Thaix (20/1), Temptationinmilan (25/1), Trenchtown Rock (25/1), Pullyersocksup (25/1), I Can't Remember (33/1), Kilnashane Star (40/1), Londonofficecallin (40/1), Mcgill (50/1), Well Polly (50/1)

ICEE M B A arrives at the top of her game so is fancied to bag a fourth win of the term after his excellent Sligo fourth. Veteran Well Joey is feared most on the back of his good recent Galway second, although My Friend The Wind is another who is weighted to go close in a very open handicap.
